Last week, I released Scroll Reverser version 1.8.
#Mac app store scroll reverser update#
This was its first proper update in 3 years, and features proper Big Sur support, as well as well as fixing a long-standing problem with crashing at startup when lacking required permissions in Mojave and Catalina. While I was at it, I took the opportunity to add support for Dark Mode and native Apple Silicon. There’s also an exciting new part of the user interface all about permissions. We all love interacting with the macOS Privacy interface in System Preferences, and now Scroll Reverser guides you helpfully as to what permissions you need to grant. When I first wrote Scroll Reverser, almost 10 years ago, I never expected I would still be working on it today.ġ Scroll Reverser's fancy new permissions guidance UI. In February 2011, Apple released the first developer preview of OS X 10.7 Lion to the world. It was the first time any of us had encountered natural scrolling on the Mac. I thought natural scrolling with a trackpad was pretty cool - it made sense to me right away and I wanted to try it out. All mouse would be reversed and the trackpad not. () slartibartfast at 20:11 Yes, but the devices are only trackpad or mouse. The problem was, it was jarring to switch between natural scrolling on my Lion test machine and classic scrolling my main machine, running Snow Leopard. But this seems to be exactly was Scroll Reverser does - per-device scrolling preferences for MacOS.

So I decided to put together a tiny little app for my 10.6 Mac to achieve natural scrolling. I called it Scroll Reverser, submitted it to Mac App Store and it was promptly rejected.

Rather than fight the rejection, I decided to cut my losses and simply posted it to my blog 3 that day as a free download, with the source code on GitHub. To my surprise, Scroll Reverser became an instant hit. Countless Mac websites and forum posts started linking to my Scroll Reverser blog post, and the first week of downloads was in the tens of thousands. I even got my first and only mention on Daring Fireball. Pretty soon, I started getting emails from people suggesting new features. People wanted to run it on Lion to reverse their trackpad but not their mouse.
